Reading about models and tools is useful.
But when someone asks you to lead an AI initiative, you need to ask different questions:
Understand why AI projects require an iterative, responsible approach to delivery.
Frame business problems, evaluate AI fit and define outcomes and feasibility.
Identify required data, constraints, infrastructure and responsible data use.
Address data quality, suitability, compliance and preparation for model work.
Manage iterative model development and cross-functional delivery.
Test AI systems against performance, reliability and business expectations.
Plan deployment, adoption, monitoring, governance and ongoing improvement.
“This course exceeded my expectations! Russ is an excellent instructor who breaks down complex concepts into easy-to-understand language. I’ve already applied what I learned to my current project and seen significant improvements. Highly recommend!”

“Russ’s teaching style is engaging, and the resources provided are top-notch. I appreciate the emphasis on collaboration and teamwork – it’s not just about identifying risks, but also about building a culture of proactive risk awareness. I feel confident leading risk workshops now.”

“What changed my mind was your bootcamp — in that session I understood that I can do this. It completely changed my doubts. After our bootcamp, I understood it’s in my radar, I can do it.”

No. PMI lists no prior project management, technical or AI experience as a requirement, and CPMAI™ is a management and governance methodology, not a coding one. It fits project, program and product managers, business analysts, PMO leaders and consultants. It is not the right path if you want to become a machine learning engineer.
PMI’s self-paced course gives you the 21 hours of material and the exam voucher. With us you get the same 21 hours taught live, so you can ask questions as they come up, plus a practice exam, study guides, extra practice questions and weekly office hours through the CPMAI Prep Lab.

120 multiple-choice questions in 160 minutes (100 scored, 20 unscored), taken at a Pearson VUE test center or online with a proctor. It covers five domains: Responsible AI (15%), Business Needs (26%), Data Needs (26%), Model Development and Evaluation (16%) and Operationalization (17%). PMI does not publish a passing score, so we teach to the full content outline.
The questions are scenario-based: they test your judgment as a project leader, not memorization or coding. Plan study time after class using the practice exam and the Prep Lab question bank. Recommend to plan for 20 hours of studying.
PMI sets the retake rules and fees. Bring your results to office hours and the Prep Lab and we’ll target the domains that need work.
More cohorts are on the way, so join the waitlist and you’ll hear first when new dates open. If you enroll into a course and cannot make it, we will roll you over to the next available class.
